Of the honorary title "Imperial" attached to the position. The Imperial Potentate serves as the presiding officer and as the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Children's Hospitals.The most noticeable icon of the Shrine is the distinctive red fez that all Shriners wear. The red fez is decorated with the black tassel, the name of the Temple, and the crescent & scimitar, sphinx head, and star. Its name derives from the place where it was first manufactured, Fez, Morocco. The fez was selected as a part of the Arabic theme of the Shrine. The scimitar is emblematic of the members, the backbone of the fraternity. The crescent is emblematic of the fraternity and philanthropy of the Shrine. The sphinx stands for the Imperial Divan, the governing body of the Shriners. The star is emblematic of the children helped by the Children's Hospitals. Sometimes attached to the emblem of the Shrine is the motto "Robur et Furor" meaning "Strength and Fury."As stated above, it was by the effort of Noble Kendrick that the Shriner's Hospital were established. He was inspired after a visited a Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children in Atlanta, GA. He campaigned heavily for the establishment of an official Shriner philanthropy during his tenure as Imperial Potentate. Once the resolution to establish the Shriner's Hospital for Children® had passed, a committee was selected to determine the site of the hospital, but it was soon concluded that one hospital would not work and that a network of hospitals was needed throughout North America. By June of 1922, the cornerstone was laid for the first Shriner's Hospital for Children® in Shreveport, LA. As more hospitals were built across North America, the philanthropy expanded the mission to include medical research and education of medical personnel. Today the Shriner's Hospitals conduct research in every area of care, including orthopedic disorders, burns, spinal cord injury treatment, and cleft lip and palate; the Shriner's Hospitals are particularly known for treatment of burns and orthopedic care. The Shriner's Hospitals have become well known for their burn research and many of the standard practices. Professor of Orthopedic Research, Professor of Medical Science, Vice Chair of Research.

Myrick1 Arthroplasty volume 7, Article number: 12 (2025) Cite this article 259 Accesses 1 Altmetric Metrics details AbstractBackgroundWhile the role of chronic preoperative steroid use in orthopedic outcomes has been studied, particularly in hip, knee, and lumbar surgeries, its impact on total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) outcomes is not well understood. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of chronic preoperative steroid use on early-onset postoperative infectious outcomes and readmission within 30 days following TSA compared to patients without chronic steroid use.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed using data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) spanning from 2010–2018. Clinical data including preoperative demographics, operative variables, and 30-day post-TSA outcomes were collected. Groups were balanced using propensity score matching based on gender, age, race, ethnicity, BMI, functional status, ASA, smoking status, alcohol use, year of operation, and comorbidities. A conditional logistic regression model was used to calculate odds ratios for each outcome measure.ResultsA total of 3,445 identified cases were included in this analysis after propensity score matching, with 1,157 exhibiting chronic steroid use. The steroid group demonstrated significantly greater rates of readmission (OR: 1.86; 95% CI: 1.22–2.81; P = 0.004). No significant differences were observed between groups in all other adverse outcomes, including reoperation, specific infectious outcomes, and combined infectious outcomes.ConclusionsPreoperative chronic steroid use is an independent predictor of readmission but not infection following TSA.
